I build the platform, automate the operations, and wire the marketing that fills it. Laravel · OpenAI · GA4. NDA-ready, Jira-native. North East UK.

Agencies and enterprise teams hire me when the project can't slip — and stay when they realise I can also cut the manual overhead and build the growth pipeline. 10+ years. BSc Computer Science — First Class. Typical outcome: 40% reduction in ops overhead within 90 days.

Three stages. One outcome.

  • 01 · Foundation Production-grade platform your team can maintain — built right, first time.
  • 02 · Intelligence AI workflows and automation that cut manual overhead — your team stops doing repetitive work.
  • 03 · Growth Stack Marketing infrastructure that makes the platform visible and attributable — know exactly what's converting.

Build it. Automate it. Fill it.

I'm a full-stack developer, AI automation engineer, and marketing infrastructure consultant based in the North East of England. Over ten years shipping production systems — backed by a First Class BSc in Computer Science from Teesside University. The degree opened doors; the decade of production deployments is what built the instincts.

I've operated across oil & gas and retail — two environments that couldn't be more different in what they demand. Safety-critical reliability on one side; speed, scale, and relentless UX iteration on the other. That range is the point: I don't default to a single stack or a single solution.

Most clients come for a platform build and stay for what comes next: AI workflows that recover hours per week, and marketing infrastructure that makes every pound of spend accountable. The three stages aren't upsells — they're the full system. You can enter at any point.

How I work.

01
Discovery
I map your requirements, constraints, and goals before a line of code is written. No assumptions, no scope creep.
02
Architecture
I design the system structure, database schema, and integration points. Decisions made here save months later.
03
Build
Clean, documented, tested code. Regular check-ins and transparent progress. No surprises at handover.
04
Handover
Full documentation, deployment support, and a post-launch buffer. You own the system — and you understand it.

Marketing infrastructure, engineered properly.

Work that speaks.

Barker & Stonehouse

Retail
Problem

Legacy product layer under real retail peak load — thousands of daily customers, inconsistent performance under volume.

What I built

Optimised data layer, caching strategy, query refactoring across the core product. PHP + MySQL under corporate delivery standards.

Result
1000s daily

Stable under peak load. Zero regression on handover.

Common questions.

Yes. Primarily remote, with the ability to travel to client sites across the UK when required. Based in the North East — well-connected to Manchester, Leeds, London via rail.
Both. I am fully comfortable operating under strict NDAs, using your internal email addresses, and integrating seamlessly into your Slack/Jira workflows. Your clients remain your clients.
Depends on scope. Small features/audits: 1–2 weeks. Full-stack builds: 6–16 weeks. Retainer: Ongoing monthly. Discovery call establishes scope and timeline before any commitment.
NDA as standard — I sign yours or provide mine. MSAs and SOWs available for enterprise engagements requiring formal contractual frameworks. All project work is fully confidential by default. White-label arrangements fully supported.
OWASP Top 10 compliance as baseline. All builds include: input validation, parameterised queries (zero SQL injection surface), CSRF protection, rate limiting, and secure session management. Data access follows least-privilege. Happy to align with your ISO 27001 or Cyber Essentials policies.
Every project includes a post-launch buffer (typically 2–4 weeks) for bug fixes and stability monitoring at no extra charge. Full documentation and deployment runbooks included on handover. Ongoing support available via monthly retainer — or you own the system outright and can maintain it internally.
Yes — this is Stage 02 of the growth system. I build AI workflows, automation pipelines, and LLM integrations using n8n, OpenAI, LangChain, and Pinecone. The typical entry point is a half-day audit of your current manual processes: I map what your team is doing by hand, identify what can be automated, and deliver a clear ROI estimate before any build starts. Most clients recover 15–20 hours per week within the first month. This can run as a standalone engagement or alongside a development project.
Yes — Stage 03. Most developers hand you a finished platform with no attribution, broken analytics, and zero SEO foundation. I wire the marketing infrastructure while still in the codebase: server-side GA4, GTM, Core Web Vitals, programmatic SEO, and CRM integrations. It is far cheaper to build this in than retrofit it later — and you will know which marketing spend is working within 30 days. Available as a standalone monthly retainer (3-month minimum) or as an add-on to any development project.
